College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

Welcome to the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics on behalf of its faculty, staff, and students. The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is one of the four academic colleges at West Virginia State University. The College takes great pride in quality of its academic programs, faculty, and students.

About Our Academic Programs:

The College has four academic departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Physics (located in Hamblin and Wallace Halls). Its faculty and staff are committed to delivering quality undergraduate programs in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering (Civil and Chemical emphasis), and Mathematics; graduate programs in Biotechnology and Computer Science; and general education courses in the areas of Mathematics and Natural Sciences to all the University students. In addition, the College partners with University of Charleston in PharmD program and with WVU in 2+2 programs in Civil, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering. We are excited about helping our students in becoming competent professionals, excellent researchers, and responsible citizens.  

About Our Faculty:

Our College is proud to have a very highly qualified and dedicated teaching and research faculty. The College has 38 full-time faculty members (over 92% of whom hold doctoral degrees in their respective fields). They are passionate about teaching and are active in research. They publish research articles in various national and international peer-reviewed journals. In addition, they secure research grants from various federal sources (USDA, NSF, DoE, NASA SGC etc.). Our faculty members conduct research on cancer, coronary artery disease, evolution, horticulture, genomics, natural products synthesis, acid mine drainage, embedded electronics systems, bio-energy, structural designs, and classical mathematics (to name a few). Moreover, the College faculty is actively involved in programs designed for outreach to science and math teachers and students in the public schools of our service area.  Even while conducting innovative research, our faculty continues to give students the attention normally found only at small colleges.

About Our Students:

The College has a very vibrant student body. In classrooms and research activities, our students engage in critical and creative thinking, and hone their oral and written communication skills. Our students have the opportunity to participate in a number of undergraduate research programs. These programs include: Research Rookies scholarships (research program for freshmen and sophomores), NASA Space Grant Consortium scholarships (research program, generally for juniors and seniors), and Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) scholarships (an eight week summer research programs). Additionally, many of our students are paid stipends to work on ongoing research projects in the College.

In addition, the College has very active faculty-sponsored student clubs including: ACS (American Chemical Society) Club, SPACE (Student Partnership for the Advancement of Cosmic Exploration) Club, and Math & CS Club.
 
Our College hosts two research symposia every year where students make either oral or poster presentations of their research projects. Our Annual Research Symposium is held at the end of April of each year. Our SURE Symposium is held in summer at the end of SURE program.

Last but not the least, our College is appreciative to to have a very hard-working staff. Mr. Doug Bright (Biology) and Ms. Mel. Smith (Chemistry) serve as lab managers. Ms. Glenna Curry, Mrs. Tina Sanchez, and Mrs. Jeannie Starr are always available to help and welcome  faculty, students, and visitors.

The Mission of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

The West Virginia State University College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics exists, first to educate students so that they can understand, utilize, and improve upon scientific and mathematical principles and relate such principles to the rest of human knowledge; second, to promote scientific and mathematical literacy on the part of students of other colleges of the University; and third to utilize the expertise of its faculty in service to the state and to the people and institutions of the surrounding area.
 
By instruction and mentoring, the College will promote students’ motivation as well as knowledge and skills, and through research, the faculty will set an example to the students making it clear that knowledge is not just to be learned, but also to be created and advanced, by humankind’s efforts.
 
Its graduates are expected to have broad familiarity with the many fields of knowledge that have been promoted by humankind’s intellectual and creative skills, as well as a deep understanding of at least one of the areas of natural sciences or mathematics, along with a set of skills for probing such areas as to develop new knowledge, solve problems, and enjoy the satisfaction of the intellectual adventure.

NSM Student Council

Membership: The NSM Student Council consists of two appointed (student) members and one liaison, each from the existing College Student Clubs (currently, ACS club, the DNA club, the Math club, SPACE CLUB), and one graduate student representative. The membership is not very exclusive; any student who would like to get involved can become a member.  

The NSM Student Council exists to:

• assist and work with the dean in enhancing the academic and social experiences of College's students
• communicate students’ concerns and ideas to the dean
• promote student involvement in College activities and organizations
• coordinate (and lead) students' activities within the College.

The Council will meet at least once a month during the academic year.
 

Student Resources

The Student Resources page aims to assist students with accessing information and resources from around campus, providing contact information, forms, and other information students may need.

Visit the Student Resources Page 

ACS (American Chemical Society) Club 
The student members are a diverse group of students who want to advance science and science education in the area.  Any student who is interested in science can participate in community outreach and career development.  Outreach activities include trips to local schools and civic groups, and career development involves seminars, professional meetings, and industrial visits.

Faculty advisor: Dr. Micheal Fultz (304) 766-3106


DNA (Delta Nu Alpha) Club (Biology) 

This is a social organization for lovers of the outdoors (animals, plants, environment, and nature).  Members have opportunities to participate in varied activities, such as spelunking and canoeing.  This group performs community service on and off campus.  Membership is open to all students.

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Tim Ruhnke (304) 766-3210


MATH/CS Club
A work in collaboration between the computer science and mathematics majors on campus, the Mathematics & Computer Science Club is dedicated to advancing education and research in the fields of Robotics, Applied & Classical Mathematics, Computer Science, and Innovation in the sciences. With active members from all tiers of interests and experience, we invite anyone willing to participate in on-campus projects, community service, and advanced one-to-one research amongst peers and professors.

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Sonya Armstrong (304) 766-3390


SPACE Club
The purposes of this organization are the exploration of space-related topics and the enrichment of members on academic and research areas. The primary purpose of this club is to give educational options to those students who wish to have experiences related to space exploration and/or the space sciences and other topics that support space exploration, allowing students to have a direct influence on their own educational experience that would be most beneficial to them. The club wishes to inspire an interest in space-related topics among the WVSU campus, therefore increasing the number of research opportunities within the university. The club’s expansion will provide support to students in hopes of obtaining research and professional practices.
